At the intersection, Xu Huai and his three brothers have been waiting here for about two quarters of an hour, and are in a hurry to pick up their sister or sister who has to sell themselves as slaves because of their poverty.

Five-year-old Amu misses his sister very much, and he also wants her to bring delicious food to him every time she goes home, so after a while, she will walk to her cousin and ask him with her head raised, "Brother, why haven't my sister come back yet?"

The boy was wearing a thick cotton coat and standing in the snow like a fat ball. His little face was white and his nose was red with cold. However, he obviously didn't think waiting for his sister was a pain, and his black eyes were full of excitement.

Xu Huai touched his younger brother's head and looked into the distance and said, "It's coming soon, don't worry, Amu, go and save another snowball and show it to my sister later."

The child was so foolish. Amu liked to play with snow again, so he immediately went there happily. He squatted on the side of the road, specifically to accumulate snow that had never been touched. Next to him, six or seven snowballs of different sizes were lined up, all of which were saved by the little guy when he was waiting for his sister.

Snowballs seem cold, but in fact, after a while, the palms of your hands will steam from the inside to the outside, which is very warm. The villagers also have a saying that if your hands are frozen in winter, you can rub your hands with snow. Rub a few more times to cure frostbite.

Xu Qiuer didn't like playing with snow, but seeing her younger brother was so busy, she couldn't help but squat over and play with him.

Xu Huai continued to pay attention to the front. When his younger brother and sister stood up after he had accumulated snowballs, the small black dots in the distance finally became clear.

It's a donkey cart.

Xu Huai was a little disappointed and anxious. My cousin was almost here at this time, why haven’t she come today?

Amu didn't think so much. When he saw the car, he thought it was his sister who was back. He was excited to run to the donkey cart, and he called his sister while running. Xu Huai grabbed him after the little guy called his sister twice, picked up his younger brother and coaxed him: "Be good, Amu, my sister is riding in a mule cart, that is a big donkey, not his sister's cart."

Some people raise donkeys and some raise mules in the village. Amu understood, and his excited little face suddenly became wilted. He held his cousin's neck with his hand, and his little body tilted towards the donkey cart. Looking behind the donkey cart, he asked again, "When will the sister be back?"

There was no car behind the donkey cart, and Xu Huai wanted to lie to his younger brother again. When he met Amu's eager look, he suddenly couldn't say it.

"Amu, let's save a few more snowballs, and twenty sisters will be back!" Xu Qiuer took his younger brother from his brother's arms, kissed the little guy, and after kissing, he exaggeratedly stuffed Amu into his brother's arms, "No, no, Amu is too heavy, I can't even hold him, brother, please catch him!"

The second sister couldn't hold him, and Amu giggled.

The boy's cheerful laughter reached the donkey cart, deliberately moved to Lu Cheng's side to be surprised by Mama Li, Ningxiang couldn't help it anymore. She poked her head out and looked forward, wanting to see what her brother was doing, smiling so happily.

Xu Huai immediately saw her cousin's beautiful face.

After a brief surprise, he took the boy from his sister's hand, pointed to the donkey cart and asked him, "Amu, who is that?"

Amu twisted his head, looked at the man who was rushing the car first, and then found that there was still behind the man...

"Sister!" The sister finally came back. Amu was so happy that she twisted from her cousin's arms like an earthworm, and ran towards her.

The boy was very excited, and Lu Chengqing couldn't help laughing, and continued to drive the car, and stopped when he was about to arrive in front of the boy.

When Ningxiang moved to the rear of the car, Amu had already turned around. Seeing his sister's face, he smiled happily, "Sister!"

When she met her brother's red face, Ningxiang didn't want to cry, but she couldn't suppress it.

In the twelfth month of the previous life, the Marquis' Mansion was busy preparing for the New Year, and she and Su Yue had a lot of things. The gatekeeper suddenly sent someone to send a message to her, saying that her cousin had arrived. Ningxiang knew that something must have happened at home, so she went to the corner to see her cousin. Her cousin stood there and was silent for a while before telling her that her younger brother and Da Zhuang from the Zhang family next door secretly went to Beihe to fight ice out and fell into the ice cave. Da Zhuang was obviously right next to her. Because she was afraid of being scolded by the adults, she hid in the quilt after returning home. Her cousin couldn't find anyone to ask him. When she found something was wrong, she asked. A villager rushed over. It was already too late...

The younger brother's face was purple from cold again, and his eyes that could not be opened no matter how she coaxed or scolded her. Ningxiang lost control of her emotions. She rushed down and pressed her brother into her arms, bent down and slapped him hard, "Have you gone to Beihe with Dazhuang again? If you said you wouldn't let you play with him, you still have to worry about you, right?"

After the fight, he squatted down, hugged his brother tightly and cried, sobbing in silence.

Lu Cheng was stunned. He never expected that the girl who whispered softly all the way would suddenly come like this.

Xu Huai and his sister were even more shocked. Xu Huai came back to their senses first and asked his sister to coax people first. He said to Lu Cheng awkwardly: "My second uncle and second aunt have gone. My cousin has always regarded his younger brother as his life. He is afraid that something will happen if he is tempted to play, so he is stricter in discipline. In fact, as long as Amu is obedient, my cousin is also generous and kind..."

He is afraid that others will misunderstand that his cousin is a lunatic or has a bad temper, which is not a good thing for a girl.

Lu Cheng looked at Ningxiang again, and always felt that there was something else in it. She should have been home during the Chinese New Year. If Amu made a mistake at that time, it would have been a month since she was so angry, but if Amu had been naughty these two days, she would not have known...

However, love is so deep that she blames her brother so tightly, she must have a reason.

Withdrew his gaze, Lu Cheng smiled understandingly and explained to Xu Huai why Ningxiang would come back from his car.

Xu Huai was about to thank him, but Xu Qiuer stood up in disbelief and laughed and cried, "Sister, you are too stupid, it's just a nightmare, why did you take it seriously? Sister, don't worry, I will watch Amu and prevent him from going to Beihe to play ice."

Ningxiang cried for a while, calmed a lot, wiped her tears, and looked up at her brother.

"Sister, stop crying, I won't play with Dazhuang anymore." Amu was not wronged when he was beaten by his sister for the first time, because Dazhuang did take him to Beihe yesterday. His second sister watched it tightly and he didn't find a chance to sneak out. Now that his elder sister guessed it and beat him, she was still crying so sadly, Amu knew that she was wrong.

Raising his little hand, Amu obediently wiped his sister's tears, "Sister will be cold when she doesn't cry."

Ningxiang was coaxed away a string of tears by her younger brother's innocent words.

Lu Cheng and Xu Huai looked at each other in front and laughed. It turned out that the little girl had a nightmare.

"It's getting late, you all get in the car, let's go all the way back." The sun was almost at its peak, and Lu Cheng went home to see his son anxiously and said with a smile.

Ningxiang then remembered that there was an outsider next to her and smiled at Lu Cheng embarrassedly.

Her eyes were red and looked even more pitiful, but she couldn't tell. Lu Cheng nodded and turned to look at the donkey, afraid that Xu Huai would notice it if he had been staring at her for too long.

Ningxiang hugged her younger brother and got on the donkey cart. Xu Qiuer also went up and occupied her sister's side with Amu. Xu Huai was not suitable for squeezing with girls and children, so she sat on the right seat and talked to Lu Cheng.

"Sister has bought chestnuts again!" One of the things that my sister likes to do when she comes back is to see what good things she has brought. After sitting down, she picks up a bag of chestnuts first, smells the fragrance of chestnuts, and then opens it after calling.

Ningxiang didn't stop him and handed the other bag to Xu Qiuer, "This bag is for Qiuer."

It was all the family that had nothing to be polite. Xu Qiuer thanked sweetly and also opened it.

Ningxiang looked at her younger brother again, pointed at Lu Cheng and Xu Huai and said, "Don't care about eating by yourself, give two to Brother Lu."

There were enough chestnuts, and Amu agreed very happily. He stood up with his sister and walked forward with his chestnuts in his arms. The donkey cart was stable. He went to Xu Huai's place first. Xu Huai refused. Amu then turned to Lu Cheng's side, grabbed two chestnuts and handed them to him, "Brother Lu." After all, he was a stranger, and the boy shouted very restrainedly.

Lu Cheng smiled and praised him for his sensibility, then turned around and lifted the coarse cloth from the reed basket behind him.

Amu looked down and saw what was inside. His dark eyes widened: "You have chestnuts too!"

There are many sour pears...

Amu couldn't help swallowing.

All these were given to him by Aunt San. Lu Cheng took out four of them and stuffed them into Amu's arms, touched the little guy's head and said, "Brother Lu has chestnuts, so he doesn't want Amu anymore. Does Amu like to eat sour pears?"

Amu nodded.

Lu Chengru asked him to give it to Ningxiang and the other two.

Xu Huai repeatedly refused, but Lu Cheng thought it was too polite, so Xu Huai had to accept it. The brothers of the four of them accepted it, but Ningxiang Xu Qiuer did not refuse and thanked him together.

Lu Cheng looked back at them, and his eyes stopped on Ningxiang's face for a few more moments.

Ningxiang was anxious to pick up the big sour pear that was about to fall from Amu's arms. Without realizing it, Xu Qiuer caught it keenly. When Lu Cheng turned around, she quietly looked at her cousin next to her, and was happy to meet a beautiful peach blossom for her cousin, and secretly regretting her. It would be great if such a good girl could be redeemed. No matter how rich and noble the Marquis's mansion was, her cousin was serving people there, so she would definitely be better than being at home in the village.

When the family reunited, they talked and laughed all the way, and they arrived at the entrance of Liuxi Village without realizing it.

Lu Cheng asked Xu Huai where he lived and wanted to send them to his doorstep.

Xu Huai didn't need to do anything, so he jumped out of the donkey cart first and pointed to the last street in the north of the village: "We live there, our family is the outside. Brother Lu will come and sit there when you have time. If you need my help in the future, come and find me."

"Okay, then we'll know each other now." Lu Cheng said cheerfully, and then looked at Ningxiang again.

Ningxiang saw it and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Lu, today, and you have made you spend money."

He looked down at the big sour pear in his younger brother's arms. This one was worth several cents.

Lu Cheng also saw Amu. Amu didn't admit to giving birth now, and his little mouth was very coincidental, "Brother Lu comes to our house to sit!"

Lu Cheng laughed and said goodbye to Xu Huai again. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still drove away.

"Is Xiang'er's burden so heavy? Brother, please hold it for you?"

"It's not heavy, I only put two clothes on it, thank you brother."

"What are the family doing so politely?"

"Brother bring me sour pears, I want to eat chestnuts!"
